It’s all official now.

The 2016 Presidential Election will be between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. 

That’s unfortunate as this contest, with Bernie Sanders having dropped out, now has left the brilliant satirical parody of Trump vs. Bernie, orchestrated masterfully by Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian hanging.

So, with that in mind, Atamanuik and Adomian have retired Trump vs. Bernie for now, but have made sure give us all one last parting gift: a Trump vs. Bernie album.

Trump vs. Bernie: Live in Brooklyn was just released yesterday on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, and will come out on vinyl in November.

Of all the political comedy in this election, Trump vs. Bernie stood out from the pack and you should definitely get their album to remember/find out what that was.

As Bernie Sanders has effectively dropped out of the presidential race, Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian, the duo behind Trump vs Bernie, have to put their brilliant political comedy minds to use in another direction right now.

That direction now happens to be a parody of Chris Matthews, played by Adomian, interviewing a panel of Senator John McCain, Marco Rubio, and Reince Priebus, respectively played by Atamanuik, Ithamar Enriquez, and John Mihiser.

Together, they try to turn a blind eye while the Republican National Convention welcomes Donald Trump as their presidential nominee.

Earlier this year, we reported on an enticing R-rated animated feature in the works called The Adventures of Drunky that follows a bet for the fate of the planet between God and The Devil and a drunk.

From top billing to cameos, the cast is stellar including Sam Rockwell, Steve Coogan, Jeffrey Tambor, Dave Attell, Tyler The Creator, Abby Elliott, John Leguizamo, Jon Glaser, Jay Pharoah, Noel Wells, and James Adomian.

Sounds pretty great, right? 

Well, Augenblick Studios has the script done and the dialogue recorded, but need funds to finish animating the whole thing. Thus, an Indiegogo campaign was born.

So far, they’ve raised $27,331 at the time of this post out of their minimum $100K goal. That will get them through the next step of production, but they’re looking to raise $2 million to finish the entire movie. They have just over three weeks to reach their goal and have fabulous rewards at various donations levels including lunch with Jeffrey Tambor, a personal insult voicemail from Dave Attell, digital copy of the movie and more.

Here’s God, as voiced by Jeffrey Tambor, and director Aaron Augenblick filling you in on all the details. 

You can (and should) donate here.

Last year, Todd Glass got a chance to take make a TV pilot out of his wondrous podcast known as The Todd Glass Show.

Unfortunately, It didn’t get picked up. 

We’re not quite sure why as Glass really made his free-wheeling format fly with a plethora of bits and bits within bits and bits about running away from bits, Eddie Pepitone living in a van, sweaty karaoke, James Adomian voicing a more sinister Dr. Phil, and more.

Luckily, we get to see a short version of the pilot thanks to Jake Adams runs the sound effects, a very intergral part of the show, on The Todd Glass Show.
